Has Roger Sterling (John Slattery) become your favorite "Mad Men" character this season? Do you wonder why supernatural creatures should fear the hero of "Grimm"? Is "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage handsomer than the character he plays is described in George R.R. Martin's books? And did you sink or swim with ABC's "Titanic"?

Commenters have been weighing in on these and other subjects recently. Let's catch up with some of the conversation:

Roger is my new favorite character in Mad Men....He seems way
more laid back and just kind of rolling with the punches this year.
The cig that he smokes in one puff was hilarious as was the bottle of
vodka he opens that plays music. By far he was having a better trip.

I agree Roger's having an interesting trajectory this season. He seems to be gradually coming to grips with his awareness that he's becoming something of a relic of an earlier generation. The stories are suggesting Don may be heading in that direction, too, though this isn't an idea that's in the forefront of his consciousness in the way it seems to be with Roger, who's older.

We also heard from a commenter who's as dubious of Peggy's abilities as the Heinz beans client was. From zumpie:

Every time I watch Mad Men I'm invariably mystified as to why
Peggy was ever promoted (her great wisdom and talent is completely lost
on me, not to mention her total lack of qualifications) and how she
manages to stay gainfully employed...

I get I'm supposed to think she's awesome and this "career girl in a
man's world", but seriously she's completely unqualified both on paper
and in practice. I also get I'm meant to think she'd be CEO were it not
for 1960's gender bias, but seriously, no. She has only a secretarial
school education, is completely unprofessional and produces
cringe-worthy work. In the modern world, she'd be fetching coffee for
Joan and Megan.

I enjoy the show and love the setting (of course), but I don't understand why any of the Wesen would fear a Grimm.

The only advantages he has are the books and weapons his Aunt left,
and they're in a trailer on the waterfront. Other than that, he's just a
regular joe. An armed detective, sure, but still just a normal human
who can't really just shoot any creature he sees. Obviously he can't
carry around an arsenal of monster fighting weapons with him at all
times, but it sure would be cool if he had SOME sort of edge over all
the creatures besides just being able to see them as they truly are.

I've wondered about this myself. Friday's episode sounds like it features Nick doing some more digging into the weapons in the trailer, so maybe we'll get more info on what makes a Grimm dangerous.

I was lured in because I have enjoyed watching Julian
Fellowes' Downton Abbey on PBS (no commercials). I hung in on last
night's (Saturday) ABC miniseries for all its miserable length --- 50%
story, 50% commercials. I won't be watching the final segment tonight
(Sunday). Reminded again why I love public television.
